We took a break from birthday mania to transition to gingerbread mania during quiet time. Meryl taste tested all the building materials…for science and engineering purposes, of course. Christmas lights go up tomorrow! As we are in no ordinary times, our holiday cheer knows no bounds!
Pajama day at school and a secret adventure after school to the special balloon store. Shhh…it’s a surprise for Holmes tomorrow!
Training chopsticks and a near two year old:)
We have a (little) big kid! He’s a champ, and pretty much snuggles into what looks like a California king bed at his scale:) He also napped at school today, after over a week of what we’ll kindly call ‘growing.’ Win!
Meryl’s blog footnote: “Holmes is in his bed. He’s starting to get big. His birthday is on Saturday.”
This rising two year old gets a new bed tomorrow! We’ve loved you dear, crib! Holmes, in particular, has loved banging his feet on the back wall to make as much noise as possible:) Safety and acoustics, comfort and entertainment.
Holmes is getting the ‘hang’ of sleeping without restraints. Now if only he’d take a nap at school instead of taunting his teachers and classmates during quiet time…we’re in for it.
We love moments like this. Where Meryl and Holmes can just play and be with each other. And we can just sit back and watch, that for this moment, they are just having fun with each other.
Holmes tried on the sweater that Lola knit for Meryl, and decided it was his for the evening:)
Holmes’ second birthday is next week, his new bed arrives next week, and we are starting bed practice tonight! So long crib climbing teaser, we’ve got your note.
